Resistors/caps/transistors/diodes up the Ying-Yang

[WOPL Sniffer]

I have a pile of parts I grabbed, couldn't bring myself to throw it away (YET). If you are looking for stuff, let me know.

I have a huge collection of resistors of nearly every value, many caps, and transistors/diodes and a bunch of OP-Amps (hundreds of 741 can type)

Damn.

Damn.

That aint the half of it

of course you have been around long enough to know....
the second you dispose of them....
you will find the need for at least 3...
lol

As a matter of fact, I needed a few 100 ohm 1/2w resistors today, went out to look in the stash, and found a box of 1000................ Yep, score

I got boxes full of assorted tubes, I need to do a functional check of the Hickock Tube Tester to see if they are any good.

is there really a thin line between a collector and a hoarder????
lol
i too hate throwing something away....especially here....where stuff is scarce anyway....
if something breaks....if possible i buy the same so that i can keep the old one for parts...

Very thin line. I think I'll do a lottery and jam a big box full of parts and draw names. Then, if a name DOESN'T get drawn, I'll send them the box... Hoard Away Guys...................

if there is a shortage of electronix parts ... we all know whom to blame....

I started to list some of this stuff at DIY

Perry- I should see what the output devices are in my Counterpoints. I know they are discontinued but if you have a tray of them…

Chances are slim. There was thousands of devices available back then. The 2 trays you see, are 2 of thousands.

 

[J!m]

I understand that, but if I can identify what they are/were I’ll take a tray. Large quantities are needed for close matching or the amp won’t work… (it’ll fry the outputs)

let me see if I can find out….

Does this help?

Definitely a hoarder...Ebay lot sale time...then you won't feel bad about renting a dumpster to throw them in.

But hey, Perry you are in MN, plenty of electronics junkies up there. A CL free or low dollar offering will bring many for a stash like that.

No good.

I have some IRF's but not those

I got access to plenty of dumpsters at some of the flips we have. I figured somebody would snag some of the huge resistors for a load bank of something.

IRF's come in tubes or bulk as they are TO-220's. Your amp does not use TO-3's which come in the big trays.

 

[J!m]

It uses the big metal case like the PL amps.

Not sure what their package is called
